How We Compare
Uplift Advantage vs. DIY vs. Design Agency
Choosing the right path for your online presence can be challenging. We break down how Uplift Advantage stands in comparison to DIY platforms and traditional agencies, helping you make an informed decision.
Choosing the right way to build your website can feel like a balancing act.
Go DIY with Wix or Squarespace, and you’re stuck figuring everything out yourself. Go with an agency or freelancer, and you’re looking at high costs, long timelines, and the stress of managing the process.
🚀 That’s where Uplift Web Solutions comes in!
We’ve taken the best of both worlds—affordability, ease, and expert support—without the downsides. No tech headaches. No scary price tags. Just a professionally built website, ongoing support, and the flexibility to grow when you’re ready.

What if I need to add extra pages or features?

Do I need to provide my own hosting?
No, hosting is included in your plan. We take care of everything—security, backups, speed optimisations, and ongoing maintenance so you don’t have to worry about it.
What is the cancellation policy?
There is a minimum commitment of 12 months ($299/month). This ensures we can provide you with the best service, covering your website design, setup, launch, and ongoing support.
After the initial 12 month period, your subscription continues on a month-to-month basis, with the flexibility to cancel at any time with 30 days’ notice.
What happens if I want to move my website elsewhere later?
We hope you’ll stay with us long-term, but if you decide to leave after your minimum term, you own your content and domain. We’ll provide your text and images, and we can assist with transitioning to another provider if needed.
